This is the 4th or 5th time I've stayed here and won't stay anywhere else in London. It's perfectly located from Euston and walking distance to all the key tourist attractions. The rooms are cleaned regularly, the breakfast is spot on for setting up for the day. I'd say that my only gripe this time was the room was maybe a little small, as I banged my head on the wardrobe right next to my bed a couple of times, but this is just a niggle. I'm already looking at booking again for next November/December in the build up to my 40th.

Most rooms are very small so pack a tiny suitcase. The rooms on the side are very loud. Courtyard rooms are quiet but again, most are small. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating.

Excellent location for relatively short walks of up to two miles to many of the most interesting and appealing sites and events in London for tourists and business travelers alike. The hotel itself is mid range physical quality, but I had a comfortable room with a king size bed that was quiet. Pricewise, I would say it’s mid range for the area. It would be easy to pay a lot more for something similar in the area, so this unpretentious place near the British Museum is worth considering.
